Apparently, this must be the bond date or license date, not the date of the ceremony.

3.  1850 Census Index/Microfilm (online at GenealogyLibrary.com).  The index on the CD says "Union Town," but the location field on pages 378A to 382A is blank.  The entries for Union Town end on p. 377B; the entries for "South Fork of the American River" begin on p. 382B, and every page before and after is labeled with the location.  The record reads:  El Dorado Co., CA, p. 378A, 6/6, enumerated 24 Oct 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen).  In the margin, to the left it says, "Hotel."

Mary Ann (THOMPSON) ERVIN is a widow (or divorced) at this point, so why is she called Mary A. THOMPSON?  And where is her daughter, Delilah?

Delilah Ervin & Charles Smith Spickard were by former marriages.
Comment:  the title of this article is a mystery.  Who are Roy & Maude?  And was it really the family bible of Roy & Maude (whose family information was not included here) and not that of George & Mary Ann?  If so, the implication is that the information about George & Mary Ann is not first hand, but entered post facto by presumed descendants, which makes it a secondary source, not a primary one.
